  • Adult Education information is shared with students when considering “dropping out” in order for them to remain in school and earn a diploma/GED. The Adult High School program is designed for school age teens and adults who, for one reason or another, are unable to attend classes in the traditional high school. Students who attend this program experience reduced class sizes with lower student-to-teacher ratio than traditional classrooms. Classes and scheduling are designed to meet the individual needs of each student based on their academic capabilities and personal needs. All students completing the approved credit requirements and passing the FCAT exams will receive a traditional high school diploma. There are options to earn the GED as well.
